Goddess of the Week – Oya(Change)

“In Africa, Oya is the Yoruban Goddess of weather, especially tornadoes, lightening, destructive rainstorms, fire, female leadership, persuasive charm and transformation.  She is also one of the most powerful of Brazilian Macumba deities.  When women find themselves in hard to resolve conflicts, she is the one to call on for protection.”  Wine is her favorite color, and her sacred number is nine.  (courtesy of  The Goddess Oracle

 

Oya comes into my life to tell me that it is time for change.  I have been floating along in my life, just existing, not making decisions, not making changes, afraid to move forward, afraid to move anywhere.   I am now acknowledging my paralyzation, accepting the need for change, craving change.  It is now time for me to step forward, make changes, and leave the bog of eternal stench (my traumas) behind me.
